Elliott Yamin Looks Into The Souls Of The Top 10

From Idolator:

And Then There Were 10

Ahhh….Top 10 week…I remember I came out with a little more swagger, trying to show a little more personality.. after all, the previous week I had just overcome another hurdle in the AI obstacle, making the post-Idol summer tour…so…I was home free, right?…Wrong!…It only got tougher…but I felt like I could afford to lose a little bit of my inhibitions, and just have fun out there on that stage…even though Paula said I had 2 left feet, I wasn’t that bad (insert cliche here)…let’s see how this seasons Top 10 fared…

1) Siobhan Magnus – “Through The Fire”

First of all…way too much commentary …W hy did the judges get 2 rounds of it?.. The song has been done before, I thought it was too safe, old, and unoriginal… she sounded a bit nervous, which I get…but at this stage, you can’t let that affect your tone of voice. Keep your head up, kid.

2) Casey James – “Hold On, I’m Coming”

Great, original song choice!… And again, kind of suited Casey’s voice.. which isn’t spectacular, nor does it blow anyone away… but I really dig the way Casey is workin’ it, and making the best of what he has to offer… He’s showing off his range of artistry with his guitar, which also doesn’t hurt… Good job tonight.
